Tommy was his mamma's pet, 

But in the ranks enlisted* 

It almost broke his mamma's heart 
With great sobs she was twisted* 
u Don't cry, mamma, mamma dear, 
I hate to see you sorrow ; 

For ten to 
You'll 


morrow.

Jimmy' 's hair is fiery red ; 

Bridget f s cooking on his head* 

In the summer when it f s hot 
She would rather cook than not, 
For the kitchen 's nice and cool: 
Jimmy sits there on a stool* 
Strange that Jimmy cries and cries 
When he f s such a summer prize !

Etelka Kistinger, 

The opera singer, 

Is bawling away 
The whole livelong day* 
u Tra, la, la looly, 

Fa, la, la, la ! ft Truly 
It's something outrageous 1 
Do stop her, we pray!!

Klondike Bill was starving fast 
During Winter weather, 

All his food was gone at last, 

Even his shoe leather* 

He met an Esquimau so brash 
“Ah, ha, this man I'll quickly 
handle 1” 

But paid him twenty dollars cash 
For — give a guess— a tallow candle! ! !

I called upon the Frog-Queen green 
Who sat in royal red array 
Upon a throne of cabbage leaves 
Throughout the merry month of 
May* 

u Oh, let me linger, Queeny Queen ? 
Oh, let us coo and kiss-a-kiss ! ff 
Her eyes met mine ; so mildly mild 
You see the rest, 'twas simply this ! ! 1

Susan Jones a-married is; 

Eggs and butter both is riz; 
Cynthia's bought another gown ; 
There's a new man in the town." 
Very much more they can tell, 

At this business they do well. 


The other picture given here 
Is what they're called 
Both far and near !

Lucy Long and Sammy Short 
Decided to be wedded* 

Lucy's locks were auburn brown ; 
But Sammy was red-headed ; 

And here they stand before you now. 
All ready for your blessing, 

While Lucy Long with loving mien 
Is Sammy Short caressing*

Harriet Hare a wonder is 
Throughout the town of Brandy; 
Her hair in curls would you remind 
Of crisp molasses candy; 

And in the Spring the little birds 
In numbers hover 'round her 
To catch stray hairs to line their nests. 
And that's the way we found her*

Just home from France 
With her wonderful lingo 
Her friends doth entrance,—

Je ne sais rien, 

Excuse me ; beg pardon ;

Miss Lou McAvee, 

The young lady you see, 
Is camera crazy 
As ever can be. 

She will creep up so sly 
As you're passing by, 
And take a snap shot 
With the greatest of glee. 


Lookl faithful Teazer in the chair 

Just shakes his head and barks " beware I ”

Our good country cousin has come 
up to town. 

And wears her new bonnet and 
alpaca gown* 

As through the green park 
She meanders each day, 

Ev'ry one turns and smiles 
At her comical way*

The King of Kana-Kala-Kee 
A pretty wife did seek, 

And as he looked and looked and 
looked, 

With looking he was weak* 
u PH take the lady, without fail, 

Who first appears by yonder rail/' 
But when she her appearance made, 
“ I think Pll change my mind/' he said,

Huberta is a famous belle, 

And few with her compare do* 

Of broken hearts she keeps a string ; 
No men of her beware do* 

Gaze on her walking down the street, 
On either side a chappy ! 

Now on them both she casts a smile, 
Just see, they look quite happy*
